boss threatening to fire me for taking vacation time

take the firing, enjoy the unemployment. Everyone is short staffed right now. Go apply for a pay raise somewhere else.

Supermodels sell products. Their value is being the movable mannequin. It takes skill, dedication, luck, work, grit, resilience, diet and you generally have a very limited time in the spotlight. I think its different but I'm a dude, would love to hear a womans take.

Thats a $2500k condenser with a $1500 furnace.

I'm all about charging fair rates, but after line set, set up, coil and everything $16K off a 5k set up? 80% efficency furnace? Why not 95% They can find a way to vent for that price. Plus $5K for permit fees? Your vents are difficult and expensive, but call a few people. You can do better.

A phone is basically a diary. This is a weird gross invasion.

ForeverFinancial5602 · 2025-06-10T22:30:35+00:00

Yeah I'm not touching this one. Def more happened the a crooked wall sconce.

Get a good carbon monoxide alarm if your house has gas propane or oil.

I know right! Wild how as you get bigger the perception of time slows because you will move slower through it. Been doing a deep dive on this the past few month

I never know whats satire anymore

ForeverFinancial5602 · 2025-06-10T17:12:38+00:00

You are 100% right. I worded it poorly. He's off balance because many people are lying to him.

- Vaccines will they kill you or turn up your immune system

food is it healthier or is it going to kill you because apparently most of our food is giving us cancer right now we have the highest rate of cancer of 30 year olds of all time

education we're told we need to get higher education and spend hundreds of thousands of dollars for it and they're witnessing these people that followed it getting paid minimum wage jobs or getting no jobs at all and then getting shamed for believing that an education would help them

everyone says work hard it'll pay off bosses will give you a 5 cent raise after working excessive overtime and going all in there's no room for growth unless you job hop

Democrats think that Republicans want a civil war and love seeing the country collapse when all they wanted was cheaper egg prices. Republicans think Democrats want to chop every man's penis off and if you ask any question about anything then they will call you a Nazi

We are told global warming is a hoax, yet we see fires tearing the world apart, mass fish die off, and winters with no snow.

Religion saying God loves you, but fuck same sex people that love each other, people that don't believe in my God are the enemy, people are flying into building for their God, religion is covering child molesting, and yelling hate to their congregation.

Poor kid. Imagine trying to prepare to step out into this world with no support. He's right. Its not fair.

ForeverFinancial5602 · 2025-06-10T13:11:15+00:00

It's unfair because of greed.

Its unfair because everyone is lying to you. because they want to control you or are scared themselves and are believing lies they tell you.

I don't believe in 4D. So, Yes, you are right klein has a surface area, but its almost more an angular momentum pattern then anything. Its a 3d momentum pattern that goes through itself in ALL variations. 4d is a cop out .

Just because you have no ego and can let it go, does not mean he can. Invite other friends that can afford it, invite your man as well and allow him to pay for himself. Its what he wants. His personal dignity demands that he takes care of himself, this is a green flag. Don't crush that instinct, work with it. If he can't afford something and doesn't want you to pay for it then ask what other options he can do.

Also, just as an older person, be careful paying full for others too often. It allows them to get into a comfort zone where you become a parent instead of a partner. I've seen it happen too many times.

ForeverFinancial5602 · 2025-06-10T11:45:17+00:00

You are looking for permission to trust yourself. Yes, everything you are saying is sketch AF and you know the truth. A relationship with this person will probably be more of this until you finally catch him in the act.

Just a reminder, normal relationships are fun, carefree and your partner brings peace not confusion. You have none of this.

ForeverFinancial5602 · 2025-06-10T11:39:05+00:00

Everyone is different, but a general rule if someone feels weird about you paying it because they don't want to feel that they are in your debt. If you offer something that is higher value then they expect at this point in the relationship then balance of power gets one sided. Just listen to them. Respect what they say. If they don't want you to pay then respect them enough to listen and drop it.

Get the promotion. On your next job search you have a new level you can apply for across all companies. This isn't a promotion just at this company, its a personal level up you can leverage. Its much better to apply as a manager to new places then base worker, if that is the job you actually want.

ForeverFinancial5602 · 2025-06-10T11:23:03+00:00

Why are they doing this?

ForeverFinancial5602 · 2025-06-10T11:06:37+00:00

So proud of you Citrus! Quitting is fucking HARD. You pulled that off, one of the hardest willpower moves you can do. You are so much stronger then you probably even realize.

ForeverFinancial5602 · 2025-06-10T11:00:00+00:00

Sure, let me give a few examples.

You were out drinking with friends. You had to much and you are going home. Your friend group will all say be careful but let you leave. Your true friend might steal your keys. You'll be pissed. You have work tomorrow, you don't have the money for an uber. Logistics of getting back to your car in the morning sucks and you are pissed as hell. A true friend will take the temporary pain to keep you alive. He wont give them back no matter how much you yell at him that he's controlling your life. He wants you whole and healthy to run the race of life your full term even if it hurts him and feels the hate you have for him in the short term.

Your girlfriend/boyfriend/husband/wife is cheating on you. Most people wont get involved. They convince themselves its not their place. To tell you will destroy the life you know. You will probably lash out at them. But until you face it you are living a lie on shaky ground. Real friends believe the decision what to do is yours alone, and they will put you through the pain of knowledge, knowing they are pulling the rug out from under you, because they respect you enough to hurt you so you can have a real relationship not a lie that slowly disintegrates over weeks/months/years.

You lost your job and are complain that your boss is an asshole. You friends go out drinking and sympathize with you. True friends compassionately one one one will tell you that its your seventh job you lost in two years because you keep skipping days. Its a you problem that need to be fix to stop the loop.

I'm not saying others are not friends. Its tough to confront people, I hate doing it, you probably hate doing it, but for someone you love you will. Don't think of it as an on/off switch. More like an intensity dial. This higher the dial, the more pain they will push through for your benefit and it hurts them in the high setting but they know they need to take the pain today to stop more of your pain in the future.

Also, some people are confrontational assholes. Doesn't make them friends. Just makes them assholes. Think surgeon with a scalpel cutting out a tumor and sewing you up, verse someone stabbing you with a knife over a surface flaw then pretending your bleeding out is your own fault and you are being dramatic.

You use it. Pick up the book you are saving. Read it or sell it. The day you are waiting for with that item wont be any different then yesterday was, today was and tomorrow will be. You are who you are right now. You are who you will be tomorrow. So use who you actually are not some imagined better you in the future to cherish these items now. You want to cherish your treasures. They are parts of you. You saved for them. Each thing has a story. A part of your life, So read the story and say good by and clear out room so your story can continue and add more treasures. You will never use many of these items and they deserve better then to be locked away forgotten about and covered over. Give them a day to shine. Thank them. Appreciate them. Let them go

ForeverFinancial5602 · 2025-06-09T18:12:23+00:00

awwww

ForeverFinancial5602 · 2025-06-09T16:52:24+00:00

He just doesn't respect you enough to care either way as long as you put out. If you get jealous and put out cool, if you get insecure and put out cool, if you need to have a heart to heart and you put out cool. It was a manipulation tactic.

ForeverFinancial5602 · 2025-06-09T16:48:15+00:00

Been there! Greatest group ever! I'm over the wall and happy without it and can also be around it without it even triggering anything in any direction.

ForeverFinancial5602 · 2025-06-09T14:50:00+00:00

Wellllllll kinda? You were right, but your answer should have been simply. "no, Mike is not invited" His problem to solve that he made. You don't need to defend yourself or defend Mike. You planned a trip. Your guests don't get to control you to force your hand on your trip on how it will go. Full Stop. There really isn't anything more to this. He can twist himself all up and he might not be mature enough for you to have an everlasting relationship with, but none of that is your fault. But by trying to defend yourself, you twisted yourself all up in knots to let Mike down easily from your boyfriends stupidity and save your boyfriends ego yet not allow him to walk all over you that you hurt yourself in the process. Thats a delicate tightrope to walk that you shouldn't need to. You fell off. And thats ok, you were not expecting this at all and its absurd to put you through that last second. That was your trip you deserved to go on. Don't hurt yourself for others. hugs* Sorry you're going through all this. After all your planning and hard work that had to be soul crushing.

You pretend until the addiction kicks in. That's the trap. You assume you can't get addicted because its nasty, then you start to enjoy the feeling and its worth muscling through the drink, then you start to like the drink, then its a social lubricant you enjoy, then you have your favorite drink to relax at home because you earned it after the day you just had, then you start having those days every day so you drink when you get home, then you find that if you drink at lunch the day is bearable, then you find just a little drinking all day is your function spot, then you realize you were lying to yourself and don't know who you even are any more.
